Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application filed on April 20, 2022, with application number 202210416389.2 and invention title "A Single-Sided Privacy-Proof Liquid Crystal Display Device". Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more specifically, to a single-sided privacy-protected liquid crystal display device. Background Technology
[0003] With the development of display technology, flat panel display devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are widely used in various consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, and computers due to their advantages such as high quality, energy saving and environmental protection, ultra-thin body and wide range of applications.
[0004] Viewing angle is a crucial performance indicator for liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. LCD panels achieve their display function by adjusting the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules to alter the polarization of transmitted light. However, due to the optical anisotropy of liquid crystal molecules, the viewing angle of an LCD is smaller than that of a cathode ray tube (CRT) display. With technological advancements, technologies such as Vertical Alignment (VA), Polymer Vertical Alignment (PVA), In-Plane Switching (IPS), and Fringe Field Switching (FFS) have emerged to increase the viewing angle of LCDs, enabling wide-viewing-angle displays.
[0005] However, with societal development, people have different requirements for the viewing angle of LCD monitors in different application scenarios. For example, in open environments where privacy is required, such as when entering ATM PINs, viewing private information on public transportation, or conducting business negotiations, a narrow viewing angle is necessary to prevent peeping and protect personal privacy. Conversely, in environments where sharing is required, such as when viewing a display device with others, a wider viewing angle is needed for sharing video conference footage. Furthermore, with the advancement of intelligent instruments, the requirements for display devices go beyond simply switching between wide and narrow viewing angles. They also extend to achieving a narrow viewing angle at a specific angle while maintaining a wide viewing angle relative to the viewpoint. For instance, a normal viewing angle (theta = -30° to 30°) allows for normal display, while a side viewing angle (theta = -50° to -30°) provides privacy protection.
[0006] Currently, there are several main methods to achieve the switching between wide and narrow viewing angles in liquid crystal display devices.
[0007] The first method involves attaching a privacy screen protector to the display. When privacy is needed, the screen is covered by the protector to narrow the viewing angle. However, this method requires a separate privacy screen protector, which is inconvenient for the user. Furthermore, a single privacy screen protector can only provide privacy from one specific angle. Once the protector is attached, the viewing angle is fixed, providing only a narrow viewing angle in that particular direction, and a wider viewing angle cannot be restored.
[0008] The second method involves incorporating a dual-source backlight system into the liquid crystal display (LCD) device to adjust the viewing angle. This system consists of two stacked light guide plates combined with a reflector. The top light guide plate, combined with the reflector, alters the direction of light, confining it to a narrow angle range to achieve a narrow viewing angle. The bottom light guide plate, combined with the reflector, enables a wide viewing angle. However, while this dual-source backlight system can switch between wide and narrow viewing angles, it cannot simultaneously achieve a wide viewing angle at one angle and a narrow viewing angle at another—that is, it cannot provide a single-sided narrow viewing angle.
[0009] The third method involves dividing the driving electrodes on the LCD panel into two types: a wide-viewing-angle driving electrode and a control-viewing-angle electrode. Applying an appropriate voltage to the control-viewing-angle electrode causes light leakage, thus enabling switching between wide and narrow viewing angles. However, using two electrodes on the LCD panel leads to decreased panel brightness and a more complex manufacturing process. Furthermore, it cannot simultaneously achieve a wide viewing angle at one angle and a narrow viewing angle at another, i.e., a single-sided narrow viewing angle.
[0010] How to obtain a liquid crystal display device with a narrow viewing angle on one side and a wide viewing angle on the other side is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, the single-sided privacy-protected liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes, in sequence along the light-emitting side, a backlight plate, a lower polarizer, a display panel, an upper polarizer, and a dye-based liquid crystal panel; The display panel includes a first substrate, a first conductive layer, a first alignment layer, a layer of a first liquid crystal composition, a second alignment layer, and a second substrate; The dye-based liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate, a first conductive layer, a first alignment layer, a dye-based liquid crystal layer, a second alignment layer, and a second substrate. The dye liquid crystal layer comprises a second liquid crystal composition and dye molecules; and The display panel and the dye-based LCD panel each have their own independent display modes: IPS display mode or FFS display mode.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dye molecules in the dye liquid crystal panel are dichroic dye molecules.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, when only the display panel is subjected to voltage, the liquid crystal display device of the present invention is in wide viewing angle mode; when both the display panel and the dye-based liquid crystal panel are subjected to voltage simultaneously, the liquid crystal display device of the present invention is in single-sided viewing angle privacy mode.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving voltage of the display panel is 1V~10V (1V, 1.5V, 2V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.5V, 4V, 4.5V, 5V, 5.5V, 6V, 6.5V, 7V, 7.5V, 8V, 8.5V, 9V, 9.5V, 10V), preferably 2V~10V.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving voltage of the dye-based liquid crystal panel is 1V~10V (1V, 1.5V, 2V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.5V, 4V, 4.5V, 5V, 5.5V, 6V, 6.5V, 7V, 7.5V, 8V, 8.5V, 9V, 9.5V, 10V), preferably 2V~10V.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, when energized, the dye-based liquid crystal panel generates a transverse electric field, driving the second liquid crystal composition and dye molecules to rotate parallel to the substrate surface. The rotation angle of the second liquid crystal composition and dye molecules varies depending on the applied voltage. Due to the dichroism of the dye molecules, when the polarization direction of the incident light is parallel to the long axis of the dye liquid crystal, the light is essentially absorbed by the dye molecules, resulting in no outgoing light emanating from the dye liquid crystal panel. When the polarization direction of the incident light is perpendicular to the long axis of the dye liquid crystal molecules, the light can pass normally through the dye liquid crystal panel. Therefore, depending on the applied voltage, the polarization direction of the incident light forms different vector angles with the dye liquid crystal molecules. Light parallel to the long axis of the dye liquid crystal molecules is absorbed, while light perpendicular to the long axis passes normally. The angle at which the light is absorbed forms a narrow viewing angle, thus achieving privacy protection at that specific angle. The angle at which the light passes normally allows for normal display, thus achieving privacy protection at a single angle.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dichroic dye molecule is one or more dyes selected from the group consisting of azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, cyanine dyes, indigo dyes, arylmethanes, nitro groups, and nitroso groups.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dichroic dye molecules are selected from the group consisting of azo and anthraquinones.
[0037] In this invention, dichroic dyes exhibit different absorption characteristics in the visible spectrum based on their different structures. A single dichroic dye mainly absorbs light of a specific wavelength, displaying a color that is the complementary color of all transmitted light. However, it is difficult for a single dye to achieve black; therefore, multiple dyes need to be mixed to absorb light of multiple wavelengths. Then, based on the sensitivity of the human eye to light, uniform absorption in the visible light band is achieved, which is called black. For a second liquid crystal composition containing dichroic dyes, the more uniform the absorption of different wavelengths of light in the visible light band, the more uniform the distribution of the transmittance curve will be, and the better the display effect of the display device will be. Therefore, the combination of multiple dichroic dyes needs to be carefully selected in appropriate proportions to achieve better color reproduction. In addition, when the second liquid crystal composition and the dye have good miscibility, the higher the content of the dichroic dye that can be added, the higher the contrast ratio will be.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dichroic dye molecules are selected from the group consisting of: In some embodiments of the present invention, the dichroic dye accounts for 0.01%-10% (inclusive of any value or subrange within this range) of the weight percentage of the second liquid crystal composition, for example, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.2%, 4.5%, 4.8%, 5%, 5.2%, 5.5%, 5.8%, 6%, 6.2%, 6.5%, 6.8%, 7%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.2%, 8.5%, 8.8%, 9%, 9.2%, 9.5%, 9.8%, 10%, or any two of these values; preferably 1%-6%, and more preferably 2%-4% for better narrow-view privacy protection.

[0161] The structural schematic diagram of the dye-based liquid crystal panel provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the dye-based liquid crystal panel includes a first substrate 5-1, a first conductive layer (FFS display mode) composed of a first electrode 5-3, a second electrode 5-4 and an insulating layer 5-9, a first alignment layer 5-2, a dye-based liquid crystal layer composed of dye molecules 5-7 and a second liquid crystal composition 5-8, a second alignment layer 5-5 and a second substrate 5-6, wherein the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are subjected to antiparallel friction with a friction direction of 90°, and the thickness of the dye-based liquid crystal layer is 4 μm.
[0162] Wide viewing angle mode (Share): Only voltage is applied to the display panel to enable normal display. The long axis of the dye liquid crystal in the dye liquid crystal panel is 90°. The emitted light from the display panel is perpendicular to the long axis of the dye liquid crystal molecules, and the emitted light from the display panel can pass through normally. At this time, all viewing angles can be displayed normally, which is the sharing mode.
[0163] Single-view privacy mode: Voltage is applied to both the display panel and the dye-based liquid crystal panel simultaneously. Driven by the voltage, the dye-based liquid crystals in the panel rotate horizontally. The emitted light from the display panel forms a vector angle with the long axis of the dye-based liquid crystal molecules, such as... Figure 4 At angle β, light perpendicular to the long axis of the dye liquid crystal molecules passes through normally, while light parallel to the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules is absorbed, resulting in a deterioration in the display at viewing angle D, while viewing angle C can display normally, thus achieving the privacy mode at viewing angle D.
[0164] The following example uses the single-sided privacy-protected liquid crystal display device constructed in Example 1. Different liquid crystal compositions were filled into a dye-based liquid crystal panel, and its display performance and brightness values at different viewing angles were tested to illustrate the display effect of the single-sided privacy-protected liquid crystal display device of this application in wide-viewing-angle mode and single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode. It should be noted that the single-sided privacy-protected liquid crystal display devices listed in Examples 2 to 8 and those falling within the scope of this application can all produce comparable display effects.
[0165] Application Example 1 The second liquid crystal composition 1 was prepared according to the compounds and their weight percentages listed in Table 2. A dye accounting for 4% of the mass percentage of the second liquid crystal composition was added to the second liquid crystal composition 1, and the composition was filled into the dye liquid crystal panel of Example 1 of this application for performance testing.
[0166] Table 2. Formulation and performance parameter test results of the second liquid crystal composition The brightness values at different angles in LCD master mode and single-view privacy mode were simulated using LCD master, as shown in Tables 3 and 4. Where phi represents the angle in the azimuth plane (horizontal plane), and theta represents the angle in the pitch plane (vertical plane); the brightness value of theta = -10° to -80° in the horizontal viewing angle corresponds to the brightness value when phi = 180°, and the brightness value of theta = 10° to 80° in the horizontal viewing angle corresponds to the brightness value when phi = 0°.
[0167] Based on the simulated test conditions of this embodiment, when the Privacy / Share ratio is ≤45%, the viewing angle deteriorates, achieving the technical effect of privacy protection. Furthermore, when the Privacy / Share ratio is ≤40%, it can achieve a better privacy protection effect.
[0168] As can be seen from the data in Tables 3, 4, and 5, the second liquid crystal composition filled in the display device of this application has a higher clearing point and a larger optical anisotropy (Δn, n). e (n0), larger dielectric anisotropy (Δε, ε) ‖ ε ⊥ ), and a relatively large elastic constant (K) 11 K 22 K 33 When the following conditions are met (low rotational viscosity, low volumetric viscosity, good low-temperature storage phase transition point, and good voltage retention stability (VHR(initial), VHR(UV), VHR(Ra))), this application can meet the wide-viewing-angle display requirements within the angle range of theta = -80° to 80° in wide-viewing-angle mode. In single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode, this application achieves a Privacy / Share ratio ≤ 45% within the angle range of theta = -50° to -30°, enabling narrow-viewing-angle display while maintaining normal display at other angles, thus achieving single-sided privacy within the angle range of theta = -50° to -30°.
[0169] Application Example 2 The second liquid crystal composition 2 was prepared according to the compounds and their weight percentages listed in Table 6.

Formulation and performance parameter test results of the second liquid crystal composition The brightness values of the wide-viewing-angle mode and the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode under horizontal angles were simulated using LCD Master, as shown in Table 7. The relative values of the wide-viewing-angle mode relative to theta=0° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=0° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=0°)). The relative values of the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode relative to theta=40° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=40° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=40°)). The results are shown in Table 8. The ratio of the brightness value of the horizontal viewing-angle privacy mode to the brightness value of the sharing mode (Privacy / Share) is shown in Table 12.
[0171] Application Example 3 The second liquid crystal composition 3 was prepared according to the compounds and their weight percentages listed in Table 9. A dye accounting for 3.5% of the mass percentage of the second liquid crystal composition was added to the second liquid crystal composition 3, and the composition was filled into the dye liquid crystal panel of Example 1 of this application for performance testing.

Formulation and performance parameter test results of the second liquid crystal composition The brightness values of the wide-viewing-angle mode and the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode under horizontal angles were simulated using LCD Master, as shown in Table 7. The relative values of the wide-viewing-angle mode relative to theta=0° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=0° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=0°)). The relative values of the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode relative to theta=40° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=40° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=40°)). The results are shown in Table 8. The ratio of the brightness value of the horizontal viewing-angle privacy mode to the brightness value of the sharing mode (Privacy / Share) is shown in Table 12.
[0173] Application Example 4 The second liquid crystal composition 4 was prepared according to the compounds and their weight percentages listed in Table 10. A dye accounting for 2% of the mass percentage of the second liquid crystal composition was added to the second liquid crystal composition 4, and the composition was filled into the dye liquid crystal panel of Example 1 of this application for performance testing.
[0174] Table 10. Formulation and performance parameter test results of the second liquid crystal composition The brightness values of the wide-viewing-angle mode and the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode under horizontal angles were simulated using LCD Master, as shown in Table 7. The relative values of the wide-viewing-angle mode relative to theta=0° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=0° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=0°)). The relative values of the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode relative to theta=40° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=40° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=40°)). The results are shown in Table 8. The ratio of the brightness value of the horizontal viewing-angle privacy mode to the brightness value of the sharing mode (Privacy / Share) is shown in Table 12.
[0175] Application Example 5 The second liquid crystal composition 5 was prepared according to the compounds and their weight percentages listed in Table 11. A dye accounting for 3% of the mass percentage of the second liquid crystal composition was added to the second liquid crystal composition 5, and the composition was filled into the dye liquid crystal panel of Example 1 of this application for performance testing.
[0176] Table 11. Formulation and performance parameter test results of the second liquid crystal composition The brightness values of the wide-viewing-angle mode and the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode under horizontal angles were simulated using LCD Master, as shown in Table 7. The relative values of the wide-viewing-angle mode relative to theta=0° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=0° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=0°)). The relative values of the single-sided viewing-angle privacy mode relative to theta=40° were calculated (e.g., the relative value of theta=80° relative to theta=40° is calculated as: (brightness value of theta=80°) / (brightness value of theta=40°)). The results are shown in Table 8. The ratio of the brightness value of the horizontal viewing-angle privacy mode to the brightness value of the sharing mode (Privacy / Share) is shown in Table 12. As can be seen from the data in Tables 7, 8, and 12, the second liquid crystal composition filled in the display device of this application has a higher clearing point and a larger optical anisotropy (Δn, n). e (n0), larger dielectric anisotropy (Δε, ε) ‖ ε ⊥ ), and a relatively large elastic constant (K)11 K 22 K 33 When the following conditions are met (low rotational viscosity, low volumetric viscosity, good low-temperature storage phase transition point, and good voltage retention stability (VHR(initial), VHR(UV), VHR(Ra))), the brightness values of theta=-80°~-10° and theta=10°~80° in wide viewing angle mode have a large relative value compared to the brightness value of theta=0° (the brightness values of theta=-80°~-10° and theta=10°~80° change little compared to the brightness value of theta=0°), that is, it has a good display effect within the angle range of theta=-80°~80°, which can meet the display requirements of wide viewing angle. In the single-view privacy mode, the brightness values of theta=-80°~30° and theta=50°~80° have smaller relative values compared to the brightness value of theta=40° (the brightness values of theta=-80°~30° and theta=50°~80° vary more compared to the brightness value of theta=40°). Moreover, within the angle range of theta=-50°~-30°, the Privacy / Share ratio is ≤45%. That is, this application can achieve narrow viewing angle display within the angle range of theta=-50°~-30°, while the Privacy / Share ratio is higher in other viewing angles, allowing for normal display. Thus, single-view privacy is achieved within the angle range of theta=-50°~-30°.
[0177] In summary, the single-sided privacy-protecting liquid crystal display device of this application has a good display effect in wide-viewing-angle mode and a wide viewing angle. In single-sided viewing-angle privacy-protecting mode, it can achieve the technical effect of single-sided privacy protection.
